Happy Mother's Day

Happy Monday to you and welcome to Nonna's Craft Corner!

I'm happy that you stopped by because it's time for another "Challenge Me Monday"! This week our challenge for you at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is to create a project for your Mother, Grandmother, Aunt or other special lady in your life using her favorite color.

My card this week is for my own special lady...my Mama. I know that pink is one of her favorite colors and she really likes the "vintage look". I'm still trying to get the hang of creating a "vintage" look and thought I would give it a go for this year's Mother's Day card....

Recipe:

* Patterned paper - K&Company

* Flower and leaves - Cricut cartridge "Flower Shoppe"

* Trim - Canvas Corp Fringe

* Spellbinders - "Lacy Ovals"

* Sentiment - My Pink Stamper "Happiest Moments"

* Twine

* Stick pins - Maya Road

I distressed all the edges of my cardstock and inked them up with Ranger Distress Ink in "Vintage Photo" I also machine stitched around the edges...

Thanks for letting me share my card with you today! And, before you go, I need to announce the winner of the "Jubilee" cartridge from last week's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl! I had a total of 55 comments and I let my hubby be my "Random Number Generator! I told him to choose a number between 1 and 55 and he chose........

Number 42! (which happened to be a score on the ballgame he was watching at the time!)

Love your paper clips, they are darling! Thank you for your inspiration!

Oh WOW! This is simply lovely Tanya! I Think you're getting pretty darn good with the vintage look! I think your Momma is gonna LOVE this card! The flowers, doily, paper,etc... ALL works together perfectly! I LOVE IT! :O)

Hey Lovely, you did a great job with the vintage look! I love the added bows and stick pins. So very pretty. How do you like that cartridge? Have you found many uses for it because I was kinda thinking of getting it, but didn't know if it had a lot of versatility. I love the flower you used on this card! The leaves are a super nice touch. :)
